Advanced Wireless

AP Isolation  This isolates all wireless clients and wireless devices on your network from each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Valet but not with each other. To use this function, select Enabled. AP Isolation is disabled by default. 

Frame Burst  Enabling this option should provide your network with greater performance, depending on the manufacturer of your wireless products. To use this option, keep the default, Enabled. Otherwise, select Disabled..

Authentication Type  The default is set to Auto, which allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication to be used. With Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication.  With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. Select Shared Key to only use Shared Key authentication..

Basic Rate  The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of transmission but a series of rates at which the Valet can transmit. The Valet will advertise its Basic Rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so they know which rates will be used. The Valet will also advertise that it will automatically select the best rate for transmission. The default setting is Default, for transmission at all standard wireless rates (1-2 Mbps, 5..5 Mbps, 11 Mbps, 18 Mbps, and 24 Mbps). Other options are 1-2Mbps, for use with older wireless technology, and All, when the Valet can transmit at all wireless rates. The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to specify the Valet’s rate of data transmission, configure the Transmission Rate setting..

Transmission Rate  The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network.  You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Valet automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Valet and a wireless client.  The default is Auto..

N Transmission Rate  The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your Wireless-N networking. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Valet automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Valet and a wireless client. The default is Auto..

CTS Protection Mode  The Valet will automatically use CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode when your Wireless-N and Wireless-G products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to the Valet in an environment with heavy 802..11b traffic. This function boosts the Valet’s ability to catch all Wireless-N and Wireless-G transmissions but will severely decrease performance. The default is Auto..
